The Police Headquarters has withdrawn Mohammad Mahbub Alam Khan, who had been appointed as the new Superintendent of Police (SP) of Feni, before he could assume his duties. According to the headquarters, the order signed by Inspector General of Police Md Ali Hossain Fakir was issued on Saturday, requiring Khan to report to the Police Headquarters by May 10.

Sources said that after his posting as Feni SP, widespread criticism and detailed reports about his past activities surfaced on social and mainstream media. The controversy intensified when it was revealed that Khan was an accused in two murder cases.

On May 7, a writ petition was filed in the High Court challenging his appointment, seeking cancellation of his posting, temporary suspension, and an impartial investigation into the matter.
